Fair Enough

I had better things to do at the Puyallup Fair than take photos of rides. There were roller coasters to ride, buttery jam-filled scones to eat (what am I supposed to eat at a state fair? Salad?), bunnies to pet and a mama pig with her hungry babies to watch (never eating bacon again. Never, ever). There were friends to have fun with and interesting people to see. All those reasons are why I only took a few quick photos. But I could spend hours taking pictures of rides. The color, the form, the motion...they are just so beautiful.

Most Improved

Today at work I received what was basically a 'You don't suck as much as you used to!' award. I got to select a $25 gift. I ordered a bed for Annabelle, although her favorite bed of course is the one I spent $850 on last February. Within a month she tore the netting under the box spring enough to fashion a hammock-like dwelling for herself. It's kind of clever really.

'You don't suck as much as you used to' awards are nothing new for me. The summer of '73 found me the winner of Camp Yonahlossee's esteemed Most Improved in Golf award. Mmm hmm.

I think I won Most Improved in Arts and Crafts the following summer. What was that supposed to mean- that I stopped getting glue in my hair by August?

I'm definitely not the winner of the most improved blogger award. I haven't even thought about blogging the past few weeks.
